Why Partner with GQA?
Make it easier for your college to get construction learners qualified, tested and onto site.
GQA provides a streamlined, end-to-end CSCS process, with on-campus HS&E testing across the group’s campus locations, reducing the need for students to travel to external test centres. Free resits help minimise additional costs, while digital GQA CSCS Q-Cards, accessible through My CSCS, reduce the risk of cards being lost or forgotten. By bringing qualification registration, certification, HS&E testing and CSCS card applications together through GQA Online, the process reduces administration and helps minimise disruption to work experience and industry placements. Dedicated External Quality Assurer (EQA) support is also available throughout the process.
